However, amongst right-leaning voters Thatcher is somewhat of a hero. She reigned for from 1979 to 1990 and was dubbed "The Iron Lady" for her uncompromising politics and leadership style which saw her win the Falklands War for Britain and make the country eventually more prosperous in terms of private ownership, closing down failing industries, and promoting less state intervention.

It looks like she still has a lot of fans.

The Conservative party started selling Thatcher-related merchandise after her death from a stroke in 2013 to help boost the party's coffers. You can now get everything from £8 baby bibs saying "Little Iron Lady" to beers adorned with pictures of the former PM on them.

There are even £2 holders for the London's Oyster Card with Thatcher's famous quote: "You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it."

The merchandise has become such a hit that the Tories are selling it again for the third consecutive year.
